Ready to take on the fiery Quematrice in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? Don't let its flames and meat-stealing antics scare you away. We've got you covered with all the tips you need to not only defeat but also capture this fearsome beast. Let's dive into its weaknesses, effective strategies, attacks to watch out for, and the best ways to capture it.
How to Beat Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds
The Quematrice, a giant chicken-like creature reminiscent of the Cockatrice, is a mid-sized monster that primarily uses fire-based attacks. Fortunately, it doesn't turn you to stone, but its flames are dangerous enough. Here's what you need to know:
Weaknesses: Water is your best friend against the Quematrice. Use water-based weapons and attacks to exploit its vulnerability.
Resistances: None noted, making it susceptible to a variety of attacks.
Immunities: Be aware that Sonic Bombs won't affect the Quematrice, so don't waste them.
Most weapons are effective against this monster, but if you're less confident in close combat, consider using ranged weapons to stay out of its immediate area of effect. The Quematrice's attacks are often centered around it, making ranged combat a safer option.
Notable Attacks: Watch out for its tail strikes and sweeps, which can deal significant damage. The tail slam is particularly dangerous when you're positioned behind it. The Quematrice will lift its tail high before slamming it down, so sidestep or block to avoid damage.
The real threat comes from its fire-based attacks. These can not only cause immediate damage but also set you on fire, leading to continuous health drain, and ignite the ground. The Quematrice has several fire attacks:
- A frontal fire attack where it rears its head and roars before flinging flames from its tail.
- A sweeping fire attack after roaring and lifting its head and tail, affecting everything around it.
- A charging attack where it runs towards you, turns at the last second, and flings fire in your direction.
If you're using ranged weapons, start moving backward as soon as you see it preparing these attacks to avoid the flames.
How to Capture Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing the Quematrice requires the right tools and timing. You'll need a Shock Trap and a Pitfall Trap, along with at least two Tranq Bombs. While one trap is technically enough, having a backup is crucial in case the monster flees or another creature triggers it.
Once the Quematrice is weakened to the point of limping, or you notice the skull icon on the mini-map, it's time to set your trap. For the best results, wait until it has moved to a new area after limping away. Place your trap, lure the Quematrice into it, and then throw two Tranq Bombs to secure your capture.
With these strategies and tips, you'll be well-equipped to face the Quematrice and emerge victorious in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Happy hunting!
